  1. Am I limiting myself?

    Bringonthenight replied to CaringGerinurse525's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What is this place? It sounds amazing. What will your actual tasks include

  2. New wound care nurse in nursing home

    Bringonthenight replied to gem4monge's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wound care nurses in my country have additional post graduate certificates/diplomas in wound care or at least some experience before they can become the only "wound care nurse" for a facility. I know...

  3. School Nursing

    Bringonthenight replied to MatthewKeating's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Good points. I know there's so many useless restrictions put on EENs I don't get

  4. Team Nursing

    Bringonthenight replied to Emma_H's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly it's all about who is in the team. I've worked in team nursing environments where one day it would be great- CNA answered call lights. ADLs etc. the PN performed vitals and did what meds they...

  5. School Nursing

    Bringonthenight replied to MatthewKeating's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Hey, I think you do need to be an RN unless you can find a school that has an RN "on call" available for you to contact at anytime. Or an RN onsite to supervise you. Though i think most schools only...

    Bringonthenight replied to Emma_H's topic in General Nursing

  8. How do you cope with looking "too young" to be a nurse?

    Bringonthenight replied to LaceyRN12's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The reason I read this thread was because I get the same comments, I just don't see it the way you do, as insulting or ageism. When patients/family members/ colleagues make the comments it seems to be...

  9. How do you cope with looking "too young" to be a nurse?

    Bringonthenight replied to LaceyRN12's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ageism? Calm down gurrl. These are little old ladies and men telling you you look young. It's a way the patient tries to start conversation and build a relationship with you. I actually think the day...

  10. New RN here

    Bringonthenight replied to ArmyMedicRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Good luck with the search. I think more male nurses contribute to the main forums anyway- there's a lot more

  14. Floor Nurses... How do you organize your day, and survive?

    Bringonthenight replied to Ashimaly's topic in General Nursing

    Remember with nights though that there is often a lot less support around, and when things go bad it's good to have senior nursing staff around to help! But it's true, nights can sometimes be a lot...

  17. Floor Nurses... How do you organize your day, and survive?

    Bringonthenight replied to Ashimaly's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the info! Lol we kinda hijacked this thread. Sorry

  18. Floor Nurses... How do you organize your day, and survive?

    Bringonthenight replied to Ashimaly's topic in General Nursing

    If the nurse to patient ratio is 1:4 in general wards, what is it in critical care areas like CCU,

  19. Floor Nurses... How do you organize your day, and survive?

    Bringonthenight replied to Ashimaly's topic in General Nursing

    I knowww! I'm so jealous of Victoria. I'd move there in a heart beat but we all know the job situation down

  20. Floor Nurses... How do you organize your day, and survive?

    Bringonthenight replied to Ashimaly's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Australia so my nurse to patient ratio is 1:8 on days 1:11/12 on nights. Here is how I do it. 0645: get in a a few minutes early. Check charts. Create a brain sheet for the day. Check orders....

  22. Last Clinical Rotation...

    Bringonthenight replied to MissJessica61's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Why would a clinical instructor say needs improvement if it wasnt accurate? Instead of complaining on here I would discuss the results with the

  23. Nurses who go on breaks during report

    Bringonthenight replied to cleback's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't even make sense. Wouldn't they want to hand over and go home?! I'd speak to them about it and if they don't change talk to your manager. It might be dangerous to start work when you haven't...

  24. LPN starting IVs?

    Bringonthenight replied to AM326's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    US care plans sound kinda hard and long... That would suck if you don't even do them as an

  25. LPN starting IVs?

    Bringonthenight replied to AM326's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think this makes sense. It's much easier for everyone in the facility to learn a blanket rule like "RNs only for anything IV related", as opposed to getting confused with all the different rules the...
